Saw the original in the Palm Springs Film Festival and loved it... they told me there it was sold to Miramax for the remake and that Brad Pitt was going to be in it...
I bought the original version DVD (Asian) and its really cool. Of course its in Cantonese with subtitles. The presentation of the DVD and all the features are great.
They also made Infernal Affairs 2 and 3... I saw the 2nd one and didnt like it much... seems that Miramax bought only the 1st one
:roll:

Scorsese is truly a Hollywood director now. He is a man of talent, but little vision. He keeps going back to projects that have him resurface old techniques hoping that his new tune might be finer than the last one. That being said, I hope this film does well. Brad Pitt is an underrated leading man and Scorsese may be able to cook up something that is entertaining.

FYI: a few posts commenting on GT's above critique have been deleted; the comments made light of cancer, and while I'm sure their authors didn't intend for them to be insensitive, they were deemed such and have been removed.
Everyone please remember to be considerate...even when you're (playfully) insulting someone else.

Well, I can try and understand why you deleted those posts, but I don't really agree with that. We were all joking about it (I know I was) and I'm sure GT knew about it (hey, GT, if you took that seriously, I'm sorry, anyway). I just think everyone makes a big deal about all these things. This is an Internet message board. I repeat, although I don't agree with deleting the posts, I understand why you did it. I just wouldn't like this to become a place were you condemn Janet Jackson for showing the world that she has a breast.
Anyway, this is about Scorsese, and he's a king :) Let's just hope he makes another Cape Fear with this one, bringing back his technique to mainstream cinema again.

Hopefully Scorsese will do a good job, I have faith in him on this one. I don't see any other director doing a better job currently.
I thought the original Infernal Affairs was decent the 1st time I saw it, but i have seen it a couple times since and it has definitely gotten increasingly better. As for the second one, I actually enjoyed that one a lot too. Part 3 is on it's way from HK as we speak hopefully it will be up to par.
..can't wait to see what a fantastic job Miramax does on their release of the original. :roll:
